    - Someone mention that the waterpark at Wonderland is better and you have all the rides. We might do Wonderland later this year. I have discount tickets -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 2, 11:00
Speaking of houses on the market - my parents' (mom's) home is up for sale. She had priced it to sell (according to her friend/the realtor) - it's a - kelly Jul 2, 10:32 17
- Get the cheapest ne carpet you can installed. Cheap padding, neutral color. You'll get the cost back in increased sale price and speed of sale. - TWuG Jul 2, 11:03
- they talk about that on House Wars, its worth the money to update cause it sells the house faster, and being on the market too long is also a problem -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 2, 10:56 1
  - get an estimate from a kitchen renovator, the buyer can put into the loan package -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 2, 11:25
- For most the impression is more important than the fact that they could reduce purchase price and replace. A couple of reasons for that. First, you - pmb Jul 2, 10:52
- In my experience, people too often are expecting to move in and not have to do any work....if there is work, they expect price to reflect... - Walt_Disney Jul 2, 10:46 1
  - We rule out places that don't have garden tubs, as an example. We won't cut a check that size without getting the things we want. -- nm - David Jul 2, 11:19
- People don't have cash to replace rugs after buying the house (especially their first) - spamlet Jul 2, 10:40 2
  - Yup. If it's in the price of the house, your mortgage is paying for it. If you have to replace it after buying, it's coming out of your savings. -- nm - mara Jul 2, 10:47
  - or alternatively the seller could give a refund / money back that buyer puts toward something specific (e.g., new carpeting). -- nm - Don Homer Jul 2, 10:42
- I watch a lot of HGTV while I sleep. I think this is the norm. people want to buy a nice fresh house. your mom could probably get double her money - amanda Jul 2, 10:37
- at least they weren't complaining about paint colors... :) -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 10:36
- nobody ever thinks they should pay the asking price for any house, i imagine -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 10:35 2
  - except during the bubble peak, when you'd often pay well over the asking price. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 2, 10:37 1
    - my sister's seller was *pissed* that ann and steve offered less than asking. I mean, nobody else offered anything. but still! -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 10:40

- finally found out what our new neighbors paid for the next door house - znufrii Jul 2, 10:24 2
  - That'll hurt the comparables if you're looking to refinance. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 2, 10:28 1
    - We just refi-ed in April, so we're good. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 10:30
- Anecdotally, we are seeing a lot of people testing the theory that the market is recovering. - David Jul 2, 10:23 2
  - we're a lagging indicator of the economy. our market is in the absolute toilet right now. -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 10:24 1

- I'll take that, provided "she doesn't run" is a Push -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 10:29 3
  - You like the stakes I mentioned below? If so, done. (Znu, you asked first, so I'll go same with you if you want too.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:34 2
    - That's fine, if you're up for 2 wagers... znu was first. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 10:37 1
      - I am. $50 feels right for a three-years out wager. Marked in my phone so we don't forget. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:41
- stakes? -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 10:25 3
  - Dunno. Liquor is bad to mail. $25 giftcard for some local to the winner restaurant? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:27 2

      - Done and done. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:41
- I have this bet with SPawn I believe. -- nm - MDH Jul 2, 10:23
- for the nomination or the general? - charlie Jul 2, 10:21 18
  - Sorry, should have been clear. Nomination. My gut tells me that the party blinks again. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:25 17
    - there is no Obama caliber candidate that i know of who would take the nomination from her. and i assume she's learned from the mistakes of 2008 - charlie Jul 2, 10:27 16
      - Your hedge at the end is also a factor to me. I'm not 100% sure she doesn't gear up and then suddenly pull the cord at the end of the waiting period. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:28 15
        
        Well there are her health concerns and that of her hubby - eag Jul 2, 10:32 1
        
        people love Bubba now more than ever. he's her biggest campaign trail asset -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 10:33
        
        unless there is an intervening health issue between now and then, i can't imagine her not running - charlie Jul 2, 10:31 12
        
        Fair enough. But my gut and head tell me people don't like juggernauts in politics. The ones who have delivered big rarely looked big at the start. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:33 11
        
        Your logic is exactly why I liked Obama in 2012 but I have made my peace with the fact that the nom is Clinton's if she wants it in 2016. -- nm - David Jul 2, 10:45 2
        
        Obama's biggest issue in 2007/08 wasn't that he wasn't a rock star in his own right; it was that he jumped the line - Will Hunting Jul 2, 11:06 1
        
        Still, that's the hindsight perspective. This places leans hard left yet we still didn't have many people who agreed that Obama was even a threat... - David Jul 2, 11:16
        
        She will be 69 thats probably the biggest factor -- nm - eag Jul 2, 10:35 7
        
        that doesn't even sound old any more. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 10:38
        
        a year younger than Reagan when he took office -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 10:37 5
        
        But well over the oldest Democrat to get the nomination in the last sixty years (which from memory I believe was Kerry at 59). - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:49 2
        
        i think the history of electing the first woman president trumps any of that - charlie Jul 2, 10:53 1
        
        If the GOP continues their anti-woman crusade, she's going to get a LOT of the female vote - TWuG Jul 2, 11:19

  - I love that when everyone thought he was cheating on his wife with her the defense was, "No worries, she sleeps with women." - Spawn Jul 2, 11:14
  - Oh, I know! Maddening. I hate when my girlfriend does that. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 2, 10:26 1
    - Probably upset cause he cant be included. -- nm - eag Jul 2, 10:28
